No, there is no such option.  Eventually we will add this
but it needs
quite some work because we can't use the standard stdio
printf for
some reasons (we need an emulation of funopen).

I wonder why you are not using gpgme - it takes care of all
this and
listing the secret keys is the just a matter of:

  err = gpgme_op_keylist_start (ctx, NULL, 1);
  fail_if_err (err);
    
  while (!(err = gpgme_op_keylist_next (ctx, &key)))
    {
      /* Now check key flags or do whatever you want to do
with that
         key.  E.g: */
      if (key->revoked)
	{
	  fprintf (stderr, "Key has been revokedn");
          gpgme_key_unref (key);
	  continue
	}
      foo (key);
      gpgme_key_unref (key);
    }
  if (gpg_err_code (err) != GPG_ERR_EOF)
    fail_if_err (err);
  err = gpgme_op_keylist_end (ctx);
  fail_if_err (err);

This also allows to switch to X.509 keys with just one
function call.
Further you automagically participate from newer
developments, like
running gpg as a co-process.

GPGME? From Within a Firefox Extension, when I intent to
avoid more dependencies? So far Enigform
just needs Firefox, gpg, and the extension itself. No C++
XPCOM components, etc.

Enigmail, the famous Thunderbird extension, uses the ipc js
library to capture gpg's stdout and
parse it, but the library is not that portable. :(
